hey guys,

this maybe a noob question

i just recently fitted Forge Motorsport FMDVFSITA adjustable bov according to the instructions given by forge.

now the question is
1- how do i check that it is fitted correctly and sealed correctly and not leaking????

cheers,
Karl

Well I'm no Blow off valve guru, but a great way to test for leaks is a soapy water solution, bubble solution, anything that will suds up if there's a leak. Perhaps some of that vinyl bubble solution from the toyshop, apply around the thread, give it a quick fang, and see if there's any bubbles around the seam. Beware that this stuff is basically PVC and will set quickly if the area is hot, so do it cold. Could make a mess.

My 0.02 anyway...

the best way to tell is to have a quick drive i fitted the forge full vent to atomsphere and they told me was a quick drive and if it is leaking u will hear a strong loud hiss under boost when u accelerate and feel a loss of power. Hope that helps

THANKS guys

was actually thinking about the soap and water teknik at work today so will give it a go in a few mins,
as for a hissing noise during boost i haven't noticed any of that.

cheers for the advice
